Huston we have a problem.it,s officaly over !it does not have to be but it is.the formula wont work properly and i can fix it! .In canada hey joe your snowmbile has a hose on it that connnects to the fuel pump the imulse lineit sucks on the pump the pump sucks and disepnses fuel to both carbuerators.Now when the crank seals go theirs no impulse it does not suck fuel. and thats whats happppened I tryed anew fuel pump brand new tryes everything infact .The reason why it,s over is because I cant get crank seals anymore they dont make it original equipment or aftermarket if you could you would have ,to take the engine out and take it to the machine shop the cases need to be opened to do the seals and some seals you need to remove the outer bearing and if you did do the seals and had her open again you should do all new bearing and bores and pistons it would be around 3000 .00 if you could get seals i rebuilt the engine myself at R& J Machine back in 1998 with new seals had the same problem then worn out no impulse dennnis kirk has seals in the stets but their no goood to me their gravitaiona pull on their engines and machines their their seals wont impulse.I could by anew machine right now even today but my moms gettting old right joe and by the time i reworked a machine so it was goooda brand new one it would be about 12 or 14 years i would have to spend on it ,which means i wouldnt get that time spent with my mom the reason my medical problems and her age so i have the cash in hand for a new 600t,nt ski-doo their the same price 9700 plaus tax as what i paid for my 85 formula mx but i think im just chillin thats all dec 23 to jan 3 i cant talk to you the library is closed but before and after again later wolf2.

@Peace Lily- Just found out about Mt.Fuji Christmas earlier in the month. That song is awesome sauce. But they forgot about Kenny Wayne Shepherd's "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". And The Eagles' "Please Come Home For Christmas" is always good to listen to as well.

Disappointed by Jeff Beck
Prior to discovering Joe a little over ten years ago, Jeff Beck was probably my favorite all time guitarist. If you're posting on this site, you know that it's Joe's music that predominates his allure. It's not just shredding.
I was disappointed to read the following from an interview given by Jeff Beck:
"Steven: Do you have any feelings about Satriani or any of the newer players?
Jeff Beck: Yeah, I think they’ve perfected their style and that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. I just wonder where they’re going to go musically. Not just technique-wise because they’ve done that. A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. You know? They sound a bit soulless – fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul.
Steven: Do you think that players in the ’80s, in twenty years time, will have made as big a statement as the main players from the ’60s did?
Jeff Beck: I really don’t know. That all depends on what happens to the main body of their music. If it’s cherished the way ’60s music seems to be, if there’s that nostalgia, then in twenty years they’ll look back and say, “Listen to this.” But my theory is perhaps not because there’s such similarities among the guitarists.
At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them. When you sit down and really listen, then you can obviously tell who’s got what chops going. But they play so fast and hammer-ons and all that, it’s got to the point where the human ear can’t really receive that information at that speed anymore."
To relegate Joe to this crowd is just insulting to Joe, and it suggests that Jeff Beck is frankly made insecure by Joe. This is called damning someone with faint praise, and time will tell whose contribution to Music is greater. These are not judgments that are best made over twenty and thirty year periods. Jeff Beck is a great musician and guitarist but these words diminish him.
Thanks,
Nick

Cube, yer my weight-loss hero :)) U lost a whole person! Must not have too much farther to go I bet, and you've done it the super-smart way...changed your lifestyle 180 degrees!!
Hope we get to see a few Christmas Jack pics, he's so cute!! Yer fun is only beginning, lol!!
Igneousiceman, if yer still around....I'm thinking you might be a road biker, would that be right? If so, maybe sometime you might feel like chatting with my son. He's totally into road biking now and hopes to do a century ride as soon as the weather is better. Meanwhile he's training indoors on a trainer, doing weights and watching his diet. He's dropped weight, toned up totally, muscles on top of muscles on his legs especially. He eats, drinks and sleeps biking, lol! When he's tired, THEN he plays guitar....if he's not busy reading about biking stuff that is, lol!!
So besides cube, Chris is an inspiration to me too...maybe one day I'll get my fat butt up and exercise more....does lifting my purse around count for anything? LOL!!!

@nick satullo- That is a shame he thinks that way. But I'm sure he hasn't really heard that many of Joe's songs. He probably heard Surfing With The Alien or Ice 9 which are songs that emphasize pure power and playing a lot of notes a second really increases the emotion of the song. But I doubt that Jeff Beck has sat down and listened to Starry Night, Crying, or Love Thing. Sometimes a lot of notes also create a great feeling as well. The solo to Crushing Day IMO is his best. Not because it is really fast and so technically difficult, which at some parts it is less than others, but because it's well-constructed, creative, and enjoyable to listen to. The amount of notes he uses doesn't take away from the emotion effect of the solo. It's how he uses them is what really matters. And I think that Crushing Day's solo is the perfect combination of human creativity and pure skill.

Very well said Oxley........
Edit- It also appears the interview was from quite some time back...like perhaps the Late 80's early 90's & at that time Joe did not have a huge body of work to critique. I truly believe that JOE'S music has stood the test of time.
I can not stop listening to JOE for any length of time by the time I'm done listening to one album I'm nostalgic for another ......
